Hi,
Thanks for everyone's help. I haven't had a chance to try the numeric
property yet, but I did find out what was causing the problem! For
some reason, the Android emulator is configured for a foreign
language? All of the letters on the soft keyboard are standard
English letters, except the key in the lower left corner (capslock?).
When capslock is down, the decimal point (period) is no longer a
decimal point. It looks almost the same as a decimal point. Whether I
type it on the soft keyboard on the virtual Android screen, the
keyboard in the right of the emulator, or on my actual computer
keyboard, it always comes out as a funky decimal point with capslock
down! This funky decimal point was crashing parseDouble, and ignored
by the Scanner. I've been using computers for 20 years, and I've
never used a computer that changed the decimal point with caps lock
enabled. Shift has to be held down, and then you get a ">"! Also, the
capslock state remains the same whenever I reboot the emulator! I've
also never seen that happen!

How to I run the emulator with a standard English keyboard? Help!
Thanks.

Add the android:numeric property to your EditText fields, by default
it's off:
android:numeric="signed|decimal"
See

As TreKing suggested, don't use Scanner, it's an overkill, but don't
forget to catch the exception.
